Yes it would be a fail, but is most likely either a worn wire or dirty connector on the ABS sensor for one wheel.

The car definately has abs so why put a dash on the sheet? How long have you had the car? Might have been a sympathetic tester? Saw the light, but didn't imediatley fail it, actually put the car on the rollers, and tested it and saw it was functioning, or didn't test it because he knew it wasn't working, but the brakes past all other tests. When my 900 was tested in March, he showed me a point on one of the front brake flexies where it appeared to pigtail a bit. Said he could fail it, but it wasn't binding and he couldn't get it to pince or snag, so wouldn't fail it. Same with the very drty lower engine and trans/steering rack etc, said he could probably fail it as he couldn't see if it was leaky oil or leaky steering and couldn't inspect it properly, but it didn't smell like steering fluid, and he couldn't make any leak my moving the steering, so he just advised a steam clean. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
